‘¢¢Plant Relations’ is charming both in matter and style. The book is 
superbly manufactured, letterpress and illustration yielding the fullest measure 
of delight from every page.”— W. McK. Vance, Superintendent of Schools, 
Urbana, Ohio. 
‘*T am extremely pleased with the text-book, ‘ Plant Relations.’ ’—H. 
W. Conn, Wesleyan University, Middletown, Conn. 
“Dr. Coulter’s ‘Plant Relations,’ a first text-book of botany, is a wholly 
admirable work. Both in plan and in structure it is a modern and scientific 
book. It is heartily recommended.” —Educational Review. 
“Tt is a really beautiful book, the illustrations being in many cases simply 
exquisite, and is written in the clear, direct, and simple style that the author 
knows so well how to use. A very strong feature of the work is the promi- 
nence given to ecological relations, which I agree with Dr. Coulter should be 
made the leading subject of study in the botany of the preparatory schools.”-— 
V. OM. Spalding, University of Michigan. 
“¢ We can hardly conceive of a wiser way to introduce the pupil to the fas- 
cinating study of botany than the one indicated in this book.”—Education. 
*¢The book is a marvel of clearness and simplicity of expression, and that, , 
too, without any sacrifice of scientific accuracy.””—School Review. 
*¢It marks the passage of the pioneer stage in botanical work, and affords 
the student a glimpse of a field of inquiry higher than the mere tabulation and 
classification of facts.”"—C. H. Gordon, Superintendent of Schools, Lincoln, Neb. 
“Tt will surely be a Godsend for those high-school teachers who are strug: 
gling with insufficient laboratory equipment, and certainly presents the most 
readable account of plants of any single elementary book I have seen.”——L. M. 
Underwood, Columbia University. 3 
‘© We heartily recommend his book as one of the clearest and simplest pres- 
entations of plant relations that we have seen.’’—Independent.
